Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce has said that he ‘sincerely hopes’ that Issac Hayden will stay at the club beyond the end of the transfer window.
The 24-year-old emerged as an important player for Rafael Benitez towards the end of last season.
However, Hayden previously made it clear that he wants to quit the Tyneside club at the end of the season.
The midfielder even handed in a transfer request back in July but it was blocked by the club. Newcastle allowed him more flexibility to travel back to London before and after games instead.
